Timer leaks... FYI

[reefburnaby]

Hi,

I am a bit confused, but are you using a 2 prong AC plug with your lamps ? I don't know of any particular brand that better than others, but the ones that are designed for outdoor use is a good start.

Another way out of this problem is to build a ground cable to your ballast/canopy. Basically, its an AC connector that has its live and neutral unconnected. The lone ground pin is connected to your ballast, canopy and other exposed metal surfaces. You can use 18 to 14 guage cable for this application.

Another alternative (especially if you lots of timers) is X10 automation with the 3 prong socket.

Hope that helps.
